Wandboard Boot Time Optimization

Mar 01, 2016

At the Embedded World 2016 trade show last week in Nuremberg DENX
demonstrated which level of boot time optimizations is possible even
on off the shelf community hardware like the popular i.MX6 based
Wandboard.
This video shows that
we can boot into a graphical user space application in Linux in less
than 1.4 seconds, booting from a standard SDcard.

As some people asked for it, we hereby make the complete source code
and the binary images of the demo available in our
cloud drive .

Linux v3.0 released - Repository rename

With the recent release of Linux Kernel Version 3.0 the previously
used repository names like "linux-2.6-denx" don't make much sense any
longer.
We therefore decided to rename our git repositories, and drop the
"-2.6" part from their names, so for example the new name of our
Linux kernel repository is now http://git.denx.de/?p=linux-denx.git

To avoid breaking any existing scripts or links, we created symlinks
from the old names pointing to their new locations, but please try
and update your references / links / scripts when you get a chance.

Xenomai User Meeting 2011

Tue Apr 26 2011

DENX Software Engineering hereby invites you to attend the
Xenomai User Meeting 2011 (XUM-2011)
which will take place under the
umbrella of the
13th Real Time Linux Workshop 2011
(RTLWS13) at the Czech Technical University in Prague.

Please see especially the
Call for Papers
- we highly appreciate all Xenomai related presentations.

The Xenomai User Meeting brings together users (including potential ones)
and members of the core development team
of the Xenomai Real-Time Framework for Linux.

The presentations and networking opportunities combined with the chance to
meet well-known Xenomai experts face to face make for an excellent chance
to learn about the latest use cases, development projects, problems and
solutions and of course about future trends.

We are looking forward to welcoming your participation in the
Xenomai User Meeting 2011.
